From his triumphant debut with Snow Crash to the
stunning success of his latest novel, Quicksilver,
Neal Stephenson has quickly become the voice of a
generation. In this now-classic thriller, he and fellow
author J. Frederick George tell a shocking tale with an
all-too plausible premise.
There's no way
William A. Cozzano can lose the upcoming presidential
election. He's a likable midwestern governor with one
insidious advantage—an advantage provided by a shadowy group
of backers. A biochip implanted in his head hardwires him to
a computerized polling system. The mood of the electorate is
channeled directly into his brain. Forget issues. Forget
policy. Cozzano is more than the perfect candidate. He's a
special effect.
“Qualifies as the
sleeper of the year, the rare kind of science-fiction
thriller that evokes genuine laughter while simultaneously
keeping the level of suspense cranked to the max."— San
Diego Union-Tribune “A Manchurian
Candidate for the computer age.” —Seattle
